Changes we need for round 5 vs Melbourne
« on: April 18, 2016, 02:19:01 PM »
I just would love it if the club did the following:

Out: Astbury (inj.), Hampson (inj.), B.Ellis (useless possessions), T. Hunt (useless), T. Vickery (no physical presence), Vlastuin (no confidence), Chaplin (no mobility)

In: McBean (reward for 5 goals), Elton (needs to be given an extended go in the seniors), Butler (speed, skill and goal kicking), Maric (leadership), Short (goal kicking ability), Oleg Markov (speed and X factor) and Batchelor (only because we need another backman and to reward those who play well in the two's).


Edit. I forgot George. I'd squeeze him in as a defensive half forward ahead of A. Moore who adds very little.

Yes something needs to be done to improve the list & the players. If you don't throw them into the fire you will not know if they burn  :snidegrin

would love it if they brought in Short, Miles, Short, McBean, Butler and Castagna and dropped Hunt, Moore, Grigg and B Ellis.

Astbury and Hampson will be out injured.

Hardwick doesn't see this.

Sounds like the only real option if there were somebody serious about their job.
Caracella and Balmey.

Unfortunately don't see Dimma doing any massive sweeping changes.
